"Baoooo...."

Currently, Sophie's favourite word is "Bao".

The word translates to "carry" or "hug" in Mandarin. She must have picked it up from her grandpa, who speaks to her in Mandarin. Amusingly, Sophie is also quite ang moh (because her mom is such a banana; and her parents speak to her in English all the time) - and so, there is an ang moh slang to her "bao". It cracks us up. To emphasise her point, she would say it earnestly and pleadingly with outstretched arms. Sometimes, when and where needed, tears would accompany the utterance of that word.

Baooooooo....

Just like that. Soul-melting.
